NIR-II Imaging for Tracking the Spatiotemporal Immune Microenvironment in Atherosclerotic Plaques

The inflammatory immune microenvironment is responsible for atherosclerotic plaque erosion and rupture. Near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging has the potential to continuously monitor the spatiotemporal changes in the plaque immune microenvironment. Herein, we constructed three different NIR-II probes based on benzo[1,2-
